I had that thought, but I also had another thought: The product may perform a version comparison using something like this (bash syntax): if [[ "$version" > 8 ]]; then ... Hilarity ensures. (This syntax does a string comparison, not an integer comparison, so "10" is less than "8".) Even if this particular product doesn't have this bug, I bet something out there will. Similar bugs are easily achieved in most weakly-typed scripting languages (awk, Tcl, perl, ...). They show up all the time. I've done it myself.
